MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

More courier madnessI had a package to send to an address in St Leonards-On-Sea. I gave the address to the monkey on the other end of the phone:
"Can you spell it please?"
"Yes - S,T, space L,E,O,N,A,R,D,S hyphen O,N hyphen S,E,A."
"Ermmm.... How do you spell 'hyphen'?"
"... Can I speak to someone else, please?"
